If Netflix renews Maniac for Season 2, Cary Fukunaga won't return as director
-
Fukunaga, who yesterday was named the first American director of a James Bond film, wants to make it clear he is one and done on Maniac, which dropped on Netflix this morning. "For me, I like to do one and move onto something else," he tells Business Insider. "I'd be very happy if another season were to happen, but I think they were just thinking about this as a limited season and if there's an appetite for another one then I think (show creator) Patrick (Somerville) would be happy to take it up and do it again. But not with me." Fukunaga also only worked on one season of HBO's True Detective.
